Karan(holding ears) : Sorry..

Preeta: Its okay..

Karan(giggling) : Main kse bhool gya..

Preeta: Chup kro tum.. Tumhari wajah se maine kal shaam se kuch nhi khaaya..

Karan: Chalo phir..

Preeran went to kitchen. Karan backhugged her.

Preeta: Oye chodo.. Kuch banane toh do..

Karan: I am a ghost babydoll..

Preeta: Toh..

She saw utensils moving on their own. She turned towards him shocked.

Karan: Dekha mera kamaal..

Preeta(angry) : Band kro yeh..

Karan: Hain? Kyu..

Preeta(hitting him) :Bahut maar khoge.. Aage se mere ghar pr aise karnaame kiye toh dekhna..

Karan(giggling) : Sach mein.. Darr..

Preeta: Tumhe phir se ladna h kya?

Karan: Bilkul nhi..

Karan made faces. She started cooking. He sat on panel.

Karan: Main krdeta sb..

Preeta: Uthake krna h toh kro.. Udao mt..

Karan: Par baat toh ek hi h..

Preeta: Rhne do tum.. do minute ruko.. Main noddles bana bhi lugi...

Karan looked at her smiling while she tied her hair in a bun and was cooking.

Preeta : Hogya..

Karan took the bowl. She sat besides him.

Preeta: Khilao..

She opened her mouth. He forwarded spoon. She ate and smiled. He fed her. She smiled.

Karan: Vse khana kha lena chahiye tha.. Mera gussa khane pr kyu nikala..

Preeta: Tumhe pata h na..

Karan(forwarding spoon) : Akele khana pasand nhi h..

Preeta cutely nodded. He took out the pin opening her hair. She made an annoyed face.

Preeta(annoyed) : Tumne phirse mere baal khol diye..

Karan(tucking her hair strand) : Tum aise..

Preeta(mimicking him) : Jyada achi lagti hu.. Yehi na..

Karan: Yes babydoll..

Preeta kept her head on his shoulder. He smiled.

Karan: Jao ab.. Bag upar rakho..

Preeta: Thodi der aise hi rhne do..

Karan: Kya hua?

Preeta: Kal jo maine feel kiya.. Main aaj se pehle itna kabhi nhi darri Karan.. Par tumne mujhse baat nhi kii.. Mujhe bahut bura laga..

Karan(kissing her forehead) : I am sorry..

Preeta(in mind) : Kyu ho tum mere liye itne zaroori Karan?

She stood up, picked her bag and went upstairs. She saw Rehaan's text. He will come to pick her up at 6.

She took out clothes from her wardrobe trying to decide what to wear. Karan casually entered into the room and widened his eyes. There were clothes everywhere.

Karan: Exactly kr kya rhi ho tum..

Preeta: Kya pehnu soch rhi hu..

Karan: Tumhe nhi pata date pr kse kapde pehente h..

Preeta: Jaise main roz date pr jaati hu.. Mujhe nhi pata.. Yeh meri pehli date h..

Karan(shocked): First? Really..

Preeta(annoyed) : Tum mera mazak udana band kroge..

Karan sat on bed and looked at her dresses.

Preeta: Batao kuch..

Karan: Tum toh har cheej mein achi lagti ho..

Preeta: Woh tumhe..

She realised what he said and she could feel her face heat up at his compliment.

Karan picked up a dress.

Karan(in mind) : Isme toh bahut achi lagegi.. Woh chipku shaadi ke liye hi puchlega.. Bilkul nhi...

Preeta: Tumhe yeh achi lagi?

Karan: Nhi.. Main yeh kh rha tha.. Aisa kuch mt pehen na.. Kuch comfortable sa pehen lena..

Preeta: Okay..

Karan(in mind) : Karan.. Tu bhi na.. Kya soch rha h.. Jo ladki bikhre hue baalo mein.. Subah uthte waqt bhi itni pretty lagti h.. Kapdo se kya hi farq pdega..

Preeta picked an outfit.

Preeta: Yeh thik h na..

Karan nodded absentmindedly.

Preeta: Okh..

She went to change. Karan was sitting there waiting for her.

Preeta changed and looked into mirror. She didn't know she was excited or scared regarding date. Rehaan was a nice guy and it seemed that he really liked her.

Karan(knocking) : Babydoll.. Thik ho?

Preeta: Ha...

She opened the door. Karan looked at her mesmerised. Preeta smiled lightly.

Karan: Beautiful...

Preeta(nervous) : Karan.. Woh..

Karan: Kya hua..

Preeta: Top ka ek hook..

Karan: Oh.. Wait..

She moved forward. He pushed her hair to one side and saw her hooks tucked wrongly.

Karan: Babydoll... Tumne galat band kiye h.. Wait.. Main..

Preeta closed her eyes. He started opening the hooks of her top and realised their closeness.

Karan: Main aankhen band kr leta hu.. Tum chinta mt kro..

He opened all the hooks. Preeta gulped. Karan's eyes were still closed. He hooked them correctly.

Karan: Hogya..

Preeta: Thank you..

Karan: Tumhari jacket..

He gave her the jacket. She wore it. He adjusted the sides of collar. She smiled lightly seeing him. He smiled back.

Preeta: Thik h..

Karan: Ha..

Preeta tied her hair into a ponytail and wore her light earrings.

Karan: Perfect..

Preeta didn't respond. It was 5:45. Door bell rang.

Karan: Dekha jaldi aagya.. Chipku kahika..

Preeta smiled at his statement.

Karan: Jao..

Preeta nodded and started leaving. She turned and looked at him.

Karan: All the best..

Preeta smiled lightly and went downstairs. She opened the door. Karan sat on stairs. She turned a bit.

Karan: I'll wait for you babydoll.. Bye..

Preeta smiled and went with Rehaan. She closed the door. Karan smiled bitterly.

Preeta looked at Rehaan.

Rehaan: U look pretty..

Preeta: Thank u..

Both sat in car and drove towards the beachside restaurant having small talks.

Rehaan opened the door for Preeta. She came out.

Preeta(smiling a bit): Yeh jagah..

Rehaan: Ha.. U don't like it?

Preeta: Nhi.. Its Maya's fav.. Vo aur main ek baar yaha aaye the..

Rehaan: I know.. Maya ka bas chle toh yehi rh jaye... Chlo..

Both went inside. They talked and ordered food for themselves.

Rehaan: Pree..

Karan(making faces) : Ise kaho tumhe nicknames dene ki koi zarurat nhi h.. Pree.. Preeta naam h na tumhara..

Preeta: Rehaan..Preeta hi..

Rehaan: Okh..

She gave him a light smile. He smiled back.

Both were walking beachside. Rehaan held her hand. Preeta felt uncomfortable.

Rehaan(smilingly) :So..

Preeta gave him a confused look. Rehaan held her both hands and made her face him.

Preeta(confused) : Rehaan.. Tum..

Rehaan: I really think I like you Preeta..

Preeta didn't know how to respond. He was about to kiss her hand.

Karan kissed Preeta's forehead. She hugged him tightly.

A tear escaped her eye. She jerked Rehaan's hands.

Rehaan: Preeta..

Preeta(moving back) : I am sorry Rehaan.. I.. Sorry.. We'll be friends only..

She went away leaving him there only.

Preeta sat in cab. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Preeta(in tears) : Main.. Karan se..

She closed her eyes.

Karan's smile came in front of her eyes.

She stood in front of her house and wiped her tears. She went inside.

Karan(happily) : Aagyi.. Tum..

Preeta closed the door.

Karan: Ksa rha sb..

Preeta: Maine use boldia.. We'll be just friends..

Karan tried hard not to smile but she could make out that he was happy.

Karan: Tumhara mood thik h? Tum royi ho?

Preeta: Nhi.. Bas aise hi..

Karan: Uss chuchundar ko akal hi nhi h.. Main batata hu tumhe..

Preeta: Kya..

Karan: Music chalao.. Hum dance krte h..

Preeta: Par..

Karan: Par var kuch nhi..

He forwarded his hand for her and switched on the speaker.

Preeta looked at him and gave her hand in his. He pulled her closer and opened her hair.

Preeta(smilingly) : Tum..

He tucked her hair strand. Preeta kept her other hand on his shoulder.

Baahon mein teri aake laga..
Mera safar toh yahi tak tha..

He twirled her around. She looked at him smiling.

Tumse shuru tum p hi khatam..
Meri kahani tum hi tak h..

He pulled her closer through waist. She smiled in tears.

Dil ko jo de raahat si..
Tujh mein h wo khaamoshi..

He looked at her confused and wiped her tears.

Karan: kya hua..

Preeta(smiling in tears) : kuch bhi toh nhi... Tum sahi kehte ho.. Uss chipku ko kuch nhi aata..

He giggled. She smiled back.

Sau baar talaash liya khud ko..
Kuch tere siva na mila humko..

He kissed her forehead. She hugged him tightly.

Saanson se rishta tod bhi lo..
Tumse tod na paugi..

Karan: Babydoll.. Tum thik ho na?

Preeta(smiling) : Tum ho na.. Sab thik h..

He hugged her back. A tear escaped her eye.
